Which one of the following structures develops from the follicle following ovulation?
A. primordial follicle B. corpus luteum C. tunica albuginea D. corona radiata
The correct answer is (b) corpus luteum.
Corpus luteum is a structure that develops from a graffian follicle or mature follicle after ovulation. This is the structure that ensures the production of progesterone after ovulation to main the endometrium. In case of fertilization, this corpus luteum continues it's progesterone production and if fertilization does not occur it converts to corpus albicans.
Primordial follicle develops into primary follicle which ultimately after development leads to formation of a mature graffian follicle.
Tunica albuginea is a fibrous coat present all along from the corpora cavernosa to corpus spongiosum in the male external genitalia.
Corona radiata is the layer of follicular cells present around the secondary oocyte within a mature follicle.
